Classification & Taxonomy Essential Question: How is the diversity of life classified and named?
Basic Definitions • Classification • Taxonomy
Why classify organisms? • To organize the diversity of life • To help us know what organism we are referring to
Who developed our current classification system, and what is it? • Carolus Linneaus
Kingdom (6) Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species Levels of Classification
Linnaean System of Classification • Each level is called a taxon • Smallest taxon is the species • Species ~ only level where organisms interbreed
How do we name organisms? • Each organism is given a two-part scientific name using only the Genus and species names • binomial nomenclature
Why do we use Scientific Names? • South America – gatomonte • North US - puma • South US – mountain lion • Florida - panther • Scientific Name – Felisconcolor
3 Rules for writing Scientific Names • 1) First letter of genus – ALWAYS CAPATILIZED • 2) First letter of species – never capitalized • 3) Scientific names are italicized (if typed) or underlined if hand written
Examples • Ursus maritimus • Ursus arctos • Genus-Ursus = bear • Species-maritimus = sea • Species-arctos = grizzly
Which of these are written correctly? • Violatricolor (pansy with 3-colored flower) • Quercus phellos (Willow Oak) • Nymphaeaordata (fragrant water lily) • ClostridiumBotulinum (bacteria that causes a form of food poisoning) • homo sapiens
Which of these are written correctly? • Violatricolor(pansy with 3-colored flower) • Quercusphellos (Willow Oak) • Nymphaeaordata(fragrant water lily) • ClostridiumBotulinum (bacteria that causes a form of food poisoning) • homo sapiens
2 Rules for assigning scientific names • 1) All scientific names must be Latin words/terms • 2) NO two organisms can have the same scientific name

Turn to a Partner • Tell your partner the Linnaeus hierarchal system of classification. Include all seven levels, from largest or most inclusive to smallest, least inclusive. • Take turns
CONCEPT REVIEW: True or False 1) Biologists use a classification system to name organisms and group them in a logical manner. TRUE
CONCEPT REVIEW: Multiple Choice The science that specializes in the classification of organisms is • anatomy • taxonomy • botany • biology
CONCEPT REVIEW: Multiple Choice The science that specializes in the classification of organisms is • anatomy • taxonomy • botany • biology
CONCEPT REVIEW: Multiple Choice The largest most inclusive of Linnaeus’s taxonomic categories is the • kingdom • phylum • order • species
CONCEPT REVIEW: Multiple Choice The largest most inclusive of Linnaeus’s taxonomic categories is the • kingdom • phylum • order • species
The Tree of Life has been updated since Linnaeus’s time • Scientists now classify organisms into an even broader category, called the domain, above the kingdom level
DOMAIN ARCHAEA DOMAIN EUKARYA Eubacteria Archaebacteria Protista Plantae Fungi Animalia DOMAIN BACTERIA 3 Domains: Archaea, Bacteria & Eukarya
Identifying organisms using a dichotomous key • a key used to identify an organism • each stage presents descriptions of two distinguishing characters, with a direction to another stage in the key, until the species is identified
Classification Today • Diagrams depicting evolutionary relationships based on molecular evidence. • Phylogeny • Cladogram
Reading a cladogram/phylogeny • Each branch represents an evolutionary lineage • X-axis is evolutionary distance from each other and the y-axis is relative time • Intersecting lines represent a speciation event
